This needs the US authorities to take 2257 seriously.

2. How are you supposed to sell something you've already given away?

You can sell a bit of dating and cam sites to support the site and then a few joins to a few paysites.
I saw a thread on B&B about a Tube site asking for a one off donation of $5 minimum to keep it running and access to the full length scenes. Wondered if it worked. Tubes will never make the money a good to fair regular paysite will make, but it does not require the investment either.

3. Can porn ever go ad supported and just be 100% free?
|
Not and survive as an industry. Unless mainstream pay to advertise. Those telling people to adapt are usually saying, "Tighten your belt and live off less."

4. How do you feel about tube sites that use stolen content to feed the "premium" members areas?
|
Pretty pissed off. The problem is solving the problem.

5. Will they be the death of our business?

Unless people come up with a solution and AFFILIATES SUPPORT THEM, very likely the death as far as I've known it.
The last this we need is another thread to discuss it. We need concrete idea to solve the problem. But AFFILIATES HAVE TO SUPPORT THEM IDEAS.
There are ways to bring Tubes down. But like many cures they are a bitter pill to swallow. Don't swallow them and you get very sick.
